Alternative, maybe easier, version:
  • Transpose the chords 4 half steps down [ -4 ]
  • Put a capo on fret 4 to stay in the same key

Verse:
Eb
I am weakness, I'm greatness

I am anything you want me to be

I am wasted and I'll make this

The anthem for a dying breed

See the light in the night when you're fading away

Trust in us, we're all that you've got these days
Eb                            Bb
Take a look inside my heart,
Ab
Oh let's get carried away

Eb
Don't you dare,
                    Bb
Don't you ever give up,

Don't you ever give up, oh no

Eb
Don't you dare,
                    Bb

Don't you ever give up on us, my dear

Verse:
Eb
I am selfless, I'm selfish
     Bb            Ab
I am anything that I wanna be
Eb
This is violent, this is honest
         Bb           Ab
It's the anthem for a dying breed

Eb                                                  Bb

                   Ab
Trust in us, we're all that you've got these days
Eb                            Bb
Take a look inside these eyes,
Ab
Oh let's get carried away

Chorus:
Eb
Don't you dare,
                    Bb
Don't you ever give up,
                    Ab
Don't you ever give up, oh no

Eb
Don't you dare,
                    Bb
Don't you ever give up,

Don't you ever give up on us, my dear

I can’t play E so I just play E7 cause’ my fingers aren’t long enough ;-;

TheSunIsGone

ok so i was looking for that last part in the song (after the song if you know what i mean) so after you play the last e chord hit the fifth fret on the a string, then the third, then the second, and then just the a string so it will look like this:
5a, 3a, 2a, a
hope that helps

lena

when i saw it it was like
is this from su?
no no no no no
then i just screamed

bob

HI i eat pancakes.

Whenever I hit a sudden burst of depression and lack of motivation I play this song. Within an instant, I feel more relaxed. Steven Universe has always been like that for me. It was literally one of the reasons I wake up in the morning. Its helped me through so much and I’m glad that many of the songs are able to be translated into ukulele (although many already are on the uke thanks to steven). I owe so much of my personal growth and journey to this. I’m real sorry if this is long and rambley, but I appreciate those who read it all the way through. Know that you are loved and beautiful in your own wah, and that’s coming from a frikin stranger on the internet! Have a good day to my gays and theys. And anyone inbetween. Blessed be.

For the plucking at the end of the song I strum 5th fret A and then pluck 3 2 0

cheetos

this song can never go wrong ?

TikToker

In the whole song I tried using the chords
C
G
Am
F
and it sounded good-

Hannah

Wow, this is so good! the chords were so perfect aligned with the song i played it almost 5 times even though my singing sounds like a dying pelican.

heh1008

When it says,
“It’s okay it’s okay it’s okay it’s okay it’s okay”
instead of doing Cmaj7 and F I do Am and G
Hope this is helpful! 🙂 If it’s not, just tell me
